1 SEVENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT DRUG COURT PARTICIPANT HANDBOOK Calhoun and Cleburne Counties Edited September 2014
2 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Seventh Judicial Circuit Early Intervention Substance Abuse Court Program is to blend the resources and power of our criminal justice system with the treatment resources of our community, to better protect and preserve the lives and property interests of the citizens of Calhoun and Cleburne Counties, conserve the scarce resources of our criminal justice system and salvage the lives of those individuals and families coming into contact with the criminal justice system as a result of the debilitating and addicting effects of substance abuse. Why do we need a Drug Court? The Seventh Judicial Circuit Drug Court will help to impact repeat offenders with drug problems to reduce crime and protect the community and to alleviate the burden on the judicial system. INTRODUCTION The 7 th Judicial Circuit Drug Court Program has been developed to help you achieve total abstinence from illicit and illegal drug use. The program is designed to promote self-sufficiency and return you to the community as a productive member. Remember, this program is voluntary and the choice to participate is yours. However, the Judge, District Attorney s office and the remaining Drug Court staff will be there to help and assist you when needed. The program involves working directly with the Court, treatment and supervision team who are all dedicated to your recovery for the next 18 months and the years of sobriety that follow. It is important for you to understand that this is a long-term commitment. You will be involved in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. You must also attend Court hearings on a regular basis for progress reports and updates. Also, there will be office visits scheduled by the Drug Court staff. These meetings are all mandatory. Additionally, periodically, you may be visited at your place of employment or residence. 2
3 ADULT DRUG COURT The Seventh Judicial Circuit Drug Court has adopted the Ten Key Components promulgated by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals (NADCP, 1997) as the court model: Key Component #1: Drug Courts integrate alcohol and other drug treatment services with justice system processing. Key Component #2: Using a non-adversarial approach, prosecution and defense counsel promote public safety while protecting participants due process rights. Key Component #3: Eligible participants are identified early and promptly placed in the Drug Court Program. Key Component #4: Drug Courts provide access to a continuum of alcohol, drug and other related treatment and rehabilitation services. Key Component #5: Abstinence is monitored by frequent alcohol and other drug testing. Key Component #6: A coordinated strategy governs Drug Court responses to participant s compliance. Key Component #7: Ongoing judicial interaction with each Drug Court participant is essential. Key Component #8: Monitoring and evaluation measure the achievement of program goals and gauge effectiveness. Key Component #9: Continuing interdisciplinary education promotes effective Drug Court planning, implementation and operations. Key Component #10: Forging partnerships among Drug Courts, public agencies, and community-based organizations generates local support and enhances Drug Court effectiveness. 3
4 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The 7 th Judicial Circuit Drug Court Program is an alternative to traditional criminal prosecution. It is a voluntary program in which the defendant enters a plea of guilty upon their acceptance in the program. This plea is set aside upon successful completion of the Drug Court program. Court supervised treatment offers an alternative to those individuals whose behaviors stem from drug use. Each applicant that has existing psychiatric conditions due to excessive drug use will be evaluated by the drug court team and staff to determine eligibility on a case-by-case basis. The following are factors that will be considered in determining a defendant s eligibility: 1. All applicants must be 18 years of age or older. 2. Employment status of defendant, ability to work, or disability determination. 3. Admission that offense was committed as a result of drug dependency. 4. Verbalization of a desire to seek treatment for that drug dependency. 5. Transportation. 6. Valid driver s license or ability to obtain a valid license. 7. High School Diploma, GED, Higher education or educational assessment. 8. Living situation. 9. Prior arrest history. 10. Prior treatment history. The Drug Court is comprised of a comprehensive substance abuse program as well as intensive court monitored supervision. The duration of the program is a minimum of 18 months, depending on the participant s progress. Participants who successfully complete the Drug Court program make significant progress in terms of employment, education and living a stable, drug-free lifestyle. You will be required to appear frequently in court to report your progress to the Drug Court Judge. Progress reports will be completed on a weekly basis and regular urinalysis testing will be done with the results given to the Judge. The Drug Court Judge will encourage you if you are doing well and impose sanction should your performance be unsatisfactory. If you do not appear in Court as required, a warrant will be issued for your arrest. Successful completion of this program will result in graduation and the dismissal of your case. Termination or expulsion from the program due to excessive violations of the rules and requirements will result in you being sentenced according to the charge on which you plead guilty and possible imprisonment. 4
